AnaÔs Nin Quotes in Henry & June (1990)

AnaÔs Nin: I'm passing through a crisis Eduardo.

Eduardo Sanchez: Be careful Anais, abnormal pleasures kill the taste for normal ones.

June Miller: What don't I understand?

AnaÔs Nin: That I love you.

June Miller: Love? You just want experience. You're a writer. You make love to whatever you need. You're just like Henry.

Henry Miller: Hell of a place you got here, Hugo. Peaceful. Been here long?

Hugo Guiler: Just since the crash.

Henry Miller: Since the crash? How did you live before?

Hugo Guiler: We lived well. This is Henry Miller, the American writer Osborn is putting up. My wife, Anais Nin.

Henry Miller: How are you, Anis?

Hugo Guiler: Eduardo Sanchez, Anais' cousin. Anais, you should read Henry's stuff.

Richard Osborn: For my money, he's got it over D.H. Lawrence.

AnaÔs Nin: I'd love to read your writing.

Richard Osborn: He hasn't been published yet.

Henry Miller: All right, I'll tell you. June appeared like an Angel, and I offered her a fool's faith. She was a taxi dancer. I paid my dime, she put her head on my shoulder, but then the lies began. She told me her mother was a gypsy and her father was a count. Later, I saw a film and realized she swiped her whole childhood right out of the film.

AnaÔs Nin: And so?

Henry Miller: So I married her.

Richard Osborn: Then he steals my ideas and puts them in his novels.

AnaÔs Nin: Henry wouldn't do that, Richard.

Richard Osborn: I'm sure of it.

AnaÔs Nin: How would you lie to June if you were making love to her?

Hugo Guiler: Making love to her?

AnaÔs Nin: Yes. To her body. To her voluptuous body. She is so perverse, so naked. Tell her that you love her.

Hugo Guiler: I love you.

AnaÔs Nin: Posses her like a man. I want to fuck her like a man. Fuck her, Hugo.

Hugo Guiler: I am fucking her, pussy willow.

Henry Miller: She is my fucking wife.

AnaÔs Nin: You don't understand your own fucking wife.

AnaÔs Nin: Oh, Henry, I want to know what you want to know. I want my life to match your life.
